This doesn't affect the kernel rdma_cm. The fix can either go into the rdma_ucm
(not rdma_cm), or librdmacm, either of which limit the impact to userspace
clients only.
Here's one issue with putting the fix in the librdmacm: there's no guarantee
that a multi-threaded client will process the event for a new connection before
the reject. This makes me lean toward implementing the fix in the kernel, where
the events are serialized.
